beautiful setting in the trees

Park personnel are friendly and helpful. The campground was quiet with few people there. Stay away from site T10 in the fall d/t falling walnuts. Camp sites are good but a few are in need of leveling and new asphalt. Upgrading the campsite to have electric would be a great improvement. I primitive camped for 12 years before and after having children, and I still dont need a full hookup site but electricity makes things easier as you get older.

We stayed one night in a 21' Class B RV. The volunteer, Denise, who managed the campground that night was very kind to protect us from a neighboring RV that had a propane leak. She was quite kind. The campground was extremely quiet and not overly busy.

@JakeEEBA3AA0B1 · Camped on Oct 18, 2025 at Campsite #A36
Great campground! Clean bathrooms that stayed stocked. Will definitely return.
@DanP5109623 · Camped on Oct 17, 2025 at Campsite #T11
We love this campsite! We love rustic, primitive nature places with no hookups. We have a small travel trailer and enjoy places that have private campsites with a primitive setting. A few sites were just too small to park a vehicle and travel trailer. A note about reservations: less than half are able to be reserved, and honestly we wouldn't drive the windy roads to get there if we didn't have something booked.
@JoshC3817764 · Camped on Oct 17, 2025 at Campsite #T6
Campsites were a little small and steep. Other than that, everything was perfect! Camp hosts were unbelievably nice; and there was an abundance of dead and down wood to have big warm fires. Beautiful spot!
@WarrenGB51BCFA · Camped on Oct 16, 2025 at Campsite #T22
Very friendly welcome as we checked in, and discussion of the site I reserved. We ended up choosing another site and were quickly accommodated. This is an older campground and youll have to do some leveling in most sites. Bath facilities were clean. Enjoyed dinner at the nearby lodge/restaurant which was very reasonable. Nice hiking trails to choose from.
@MichaelJ550489 · Camped on Oct 11, 2025 at Campsite #A25
We arrived and our campsite was well maintained and clean. And we realized after leaving we had left a wallet there, and the staff diligently looked for it including moving leaves aside and hunting in the rain. They were able to locate it and were kind enough to meet up to return it closer to where we live. The customer service was the best ive experienced in a very long time. They really do take care of each and every guest!
@BethF21667F2C9 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #T44
The volunteers and ranger were very friendly and helpful. We had no problems at all.
@MistyB68317849 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #A14
We enjoyed the peace and tranquility, we also went over to the the Peaks of Otter Restaurant which is a short walk from the camping site. The meal was delicious amd the waitress kind.
@CourtneyB98483 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #A41
We visited in October and the campground was completely full. It was still quiet and very clean. The hosts were AMAZING!!! It was our first time here, and there were so many things to do for a long weekend trip, we will definitely be back!
@cheryls3753416 · Camped on Oct 6, 2025 at Campsite #T3
Peaks of Otter is a beautiful campground with a lot of great hiking in the area. The sites are small and on very hilly terrain so if you are not ready for some steps down or up to your picnic table and fire pit this may not be for you. for us it was fantastic.
@LanceA9921587C · Camped on Oct 4, 2025 at Campsite #A17
This campground was perfect! Nice, established sites with firerings, picnic tables and a nearby restroom. Its located right below Sharp Top and the staff were very friendly. Definitely coming back!
@CathieS070BCF4 · Camped on Oct 1, 2025 at Campsite #A25

@SteveR5952407 · Camped on Sep 30, 2025 at Campsite #A36
Very nice campground, the facilities were in good condition and bathroom well stocked. The Campground Hosts were awesome - even sharing a 's'mores kit' and blowing the falling leaves from our campsite! Fun times indeed.
@DwayneH5392B3D · Camped on Sep 21, 2025 at Campsite #A9
Very friendly and helpful host. Campsite was perfect for my truck with attached SUV style tent.
@SharonEA7B5064 · Camped on Sep 20, 2025 at Campsite #A10
Extremely well-run campground; hosts were welcoming and wonderful. Campground kept very clean!Lots of gnats and biting bugs were the only drawback.
@SamuelD9480002 · Camped on Sep 19, 2025 at Campsite #A33
The camp leader and staff on duty were both very welcoming!
@KathyF2E2A5FD5 · Camped on Sep 13, 2025 at Campsite #A11
The Staff was wonderful . They helped us find two tent sites close together and checked to see if we could delay checkout. We had a great time hiking and relaxing.
@BethK9EC076EDA · Camped on Sep 12, 2025 at Campsite #A22
Love camping throughout Virginia and am grateful that Peaks of Otter is still open. The camp host was so kind and helpful. Hope funds continue to be allocated for these areas!
@JamesK1667053 · Camped on Sep 10, 2025 at Campsite #A13
The campsites in A Loop were clean, level and quiet, despite their proximity to the highway; we hope that B Loop will be open next time we are here! Rangers, volunteers and staff were all so very helpful and ready to chat, which was inviting. Shops, visitors Center and the Lodge were all excellent. A nice surprise. Any chance for hot showers?
@JillS9232022 · Camped on Sep 3, 2025 at Campsite #A43
Loved my stay at the Peaks of Otter campground. The hiking nearby was epic and enjoyed an early dinner at the lodge. The volunteers at the campground were very friendly and helpful and the sites at the campground and facilities were very nice and clean
@KristineO59978 · Camped on Aug 14, 2025 at Campsite #T51
We loved this rustic campground. We saw only 1-2 other campers during our august trip. It's primitive but you can drive or walk to the lodge and enjoy a great dinner in their restaurant if you don't feel like cooking out. Nice variety of trails for all levels of hikers. Kids enjoyed the ranger offerings and we hiked up to the old homestead and spoke to the interpretive volunteers. Took the bus to the top of the mountain. Trails up there were a little overgrown, but worth the view! Bring bug spray as the gnats were up enjoying the view too.
@RobertR8191303 · Camped on Aug 7, 2025 at Campsite #T18
It was extremely dark. Extensive Forest canopy caused many surfaces to be covered with moss. Very hilly not a lot of flat area. No showers. The bathroom that I went into was clean and serviceable. No one was at the ranger station and there was a very confusing not well outlined self-check in process that I just guessed that. It was so depressing I went out and found another place to cook my dinner in The Breakfast the following morning. Inadequate place to park overnight but that's about all it's worth. A parking spot.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
